For Educators
How do we use games in education and training? What can we use in our classes? How can we include games in the curriculum and planning? What problem-solving, team-building, and cooperation games are there?
​
There are countless games that can be used to deepen children's knowledge and implement ‘learning through play”. We can use them either in groups or with individual students.

We are in search of After-School Club Leaders/Teachers for our Smarti's Boardgame Clubs in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Our mission is to introduce, promote and play well-researched and tested board games for children aged 4-11. We believe that integrating these games into education from primary age greatly promotes the intellectual and emotional development of children. They light up young minds and stimulate logic, problem-solving, social skills, confidence, visual perception, creative thinking, and much more. Due to increasing demand, we are looking for more boardgame club leaders for 1-hour classes in primary schools at our after-school and community clubs. Key Info • Full training is provided • All teaching materials/games and lesson plans are provided • There are additional paid opportunities to facilitate other boardgame events and clubs which are not part of our after-school programme • We have a community of teachers to share teaching tips and ideas with • Sessions are generally 1 hour and run on a weekly basis during term time from 3:30 - 4:30pm.
